size belies its incredible versatility and audio performance.
The range of inputs and outputs comprises microphone inputs (with
+48 V phantom power supply), line inputs, possibilities for con-
necting effects devices, connectors for a 2-track master machine
(e.g. DAT recorder) and a monitor system consisting of monitor
loudspeaker(s) and power amplier (except for UB502).

CAUTION!
We should like to draw your attention to the fact that +
extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/or
your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX
control and PHONES control in the main section fully
counter-clockwise before you switch on the unit. Always
be careful to set appropriate volume levels.
Important notes concerning installation
The sound quality may diminish within the range of pow- +
erful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources.
Increase the distance between the transmitter and the
device and use shielded cables for all connections.
General mixing console functions1.1
A mixing console fulls three main functions:
= Signal processing: Preamplication, level adjustment,
mixing of effects, frequency equalization.
= Signal distribution: Summing of signals to the aux sends
for effects processing and monitor mix, distribution to
one or several recording tracks, power amp(s), control
room and 2-track outputs.
= Mix: Setting the volume level, frequency distribution and
positioning of the individual signals in the stereo eld,
level control of the total mix to match the recording de-
vices/crossover/power amplier(s). All other mixer func-
tions can be included in this main function.
The interface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized for
these tasks enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.
The user’s manual1.2
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of
the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them.
In order to help you understand the links between the controls,
we have arranged them in groups according to their function. The
illustrations at the beginning of each chapter show the controls
described in each respective chapter.
The block diagram supplied with the mixing console +
gives you an overview of the connections between the
inputs and outputs, as well as the associated switches
and controls.
For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the mi-
crophone input to the FX send connector. Don’t be put off by the
huge range of possibilities; it’s easier than you think! If you look
at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll be able
to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and you’ll
soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.
If you need to know more about specic issues, please visit our
website at http://www.behringer.com, where you’ll nd explanations
of (for example) effects and dynamics applications.
